Grilling and Smoking Chicken

Chicken is one of my beloved meats to cook. It is low in fat, high in protein, and if
cooked correctly, it will definitely be a crowd pleaser. There are many dissimilar
recipes for grilling and smoking chicken, and I have included my two beloved
recipes below. I am known as The Smoker King, and I am the author and
Webmaster of "Outdoor Cooking: Barbeque, Sauces, Mops, Rubs," so you can bet
that my beloved way to cook chicken is outdoors, on a grill or smoker.

The first recipe is one that I use when I cook chicken fajitas. The marinade gives a
tequila-lime twist to the chicken, which is great for Mexican-type dishes. The
second recipe is my take on the preponderant beer can chicken recipe. straight through my
experience, I have found that placing the chicken on a beer can throne while it is
smoking produces a juicy, tender bird. Smoking chicken is one of my beloved ways
to cook chicken, and after you have tried this recipe, I believe that you will categorically like
smoking chicken too.

Meat Casseroles

Grilled Tequila Lime Chicken

Ingredients:

4-Chicken Breasts

2-Cups of Margarita Mix (I prefer Mr. And Mrs. T's)

1/2-Cup Vinegar

1/2 Cup Olive Oil

1-Tbsp Onion Powder

1-Tbsp Garlic Powder

1-Tbsp Cajun Seasoning

Lemon Pepper

Option for a kicked up version: Add one shot of Tequila

Recipe:

1. Trim chicken breasts to remove fat

2. Using the flat side of a meat tenderizer, pound the each chicken breast until they
are about 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick.

3. Mix all ingredients into a bowl just big enough to hold the chicken breasts while
they are fully covered in the marinade.

4. Add chicken breasts, and refrigerate for 1/2 to 1 hour. The longer they stay in
the marinade, the more Tequila lime taste they will have.

5. Season both sides of the chicken with Lemon Pepper before grilling.

6. Grill over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes per side. Times may vary
depending on heat, just make sure that the meat is white throughout the breast,
and the juices run clear.

This is a great recipe for chicken fajitas.

Here is my recipe for Cajun smoked, beer-can chicken.

Injection Ingredients:

1. A 3 or 4 pound chicken

2. 1/2 cup melted butter (room temperature)

3. 2 tablespoons of Tony Chachere's seasoning (more for a spicier chicken)

4. 1-teaspoon garlic powder

5. 1/2 cup vinegar

Rub Ingredients:

1. Olive oil

2. Tony Chachere's seasoning.

Mop Ingredients:

1. Apple Cider

2. A Spray Bottle

Other:

1. A beer of your option (1/2 full)

2. 3 cloves of garlic

3. About 3 tablespoons of chopped garlic

Directions:

1. Whisk all injection ingredients together.

2. Using a kitchen syringe, inject the liquid into various spots on the chicken. Try to
be even as possible, injecting about 1/2 of the compound into the breasts, and the
other 1/2 throughout the rest of the chicken.

3. Rub the chicken down with olive oil, and apply an even layer of Tony's to the bird.

4. Drink half of the beer, widen the opening at the top of the can, then put the garlic
and onion in the can.

5. Place the bird on the can. It should sit up by itself.

6. Preheat your smoker to about 250 F degrees. I use hickory for chicken, charcoal
works well too.

7. Put the chicken on the smoker and spray the chicken with the apple cider about
every 30 minutes.

8. Smoke the chicken for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest
meat reaches 180 F Degrees.

I hope you enjoy both recipes as much as I do. You can find many more at my
website listed below.

Methods of Cooking and Grilling Deer Meat

Whether in a fireplace, outdoor grill, roasting in an oven or on a spit, sautéing, frying, steaming, "encased" cooking, in a crust, braising, stewing, poaching - Venison will go from raw to cooked.

There are 2 main ways of doing this:

Cooking by "sealing" - with browning - retains all the juices and nutritive elements of foods by caramelizing the exterior surface over heat, with or without the addition of fat (Olive oil) when broiling, or grilling, roasting, sauteing, or frying.

Without browning - cooking the meat in boiling liquid, steaming it, or using a nonstick pan, as when poaching.

Cooking by "interchange" - with browning - used for pot roasting or braising. First the meat is sauteed very quickly in olive oil, then liquid (wine or stock) is added to half-cover, and the food is then simmered slowly on top of the stove or in the oven. The juices within the Venison is gradually released and mix with the cooking liquid....interchange.

Without browning - Quickly saute in olive oil the place in the liquid and cook. The juice and aromas mix with the stock, which becomes richer and makes a tender and juicy final dish.

Fireplace or Outdoor Grill: Grill must be hot, Venison should be at room temperature and lightly coated with Olive Oil. Very Rare: The Venison is place on grill and seared, then turned 90 degrees (do not turn over) to make crisscross pattern of brown lines on its surface. Then the meat is turned over (do it with out spearing the meat - do not make a hole in the meat as the juices will escape). Same thing is done on the other side. (Only turn completely over once). After the meat has been grilled for a very short time, and is still soft when pressed gently with a finger, it is ready to take off the grill. (125 or less degrees internal temp) Place the meat on a plate, cover, and keep warm for (10 minutes) to finish cooking.

Medium-Rare: If you continue the cooking somewhat longer, you must do it more slowly; therefore keep the meat considerably farther from the main source of heat. More drops of blood will appear on the upper surface, and when you press the meat, it will be more resistant and firmer that before: it is now medium-rare (135 degrees internal temp). Again, let the meat rest for 10 minutes.

If you wanted it to really cook longer but not loose the moisture in the meat, cover the meat tightly while resting.

Rules:

* Do not overcook - nothing over 135 degrees internal temp before resting.

* Do not puncture the meat until after resting the venison - no fork, no knife - no puncture. Use tongs to turn the venison.

* Do not turn the meat over more than once.
